Obituary of Kenneth Charles Elmer Ashe
Kenneth Charles Elmer Ashe, 52 of Belmont, passed away suddenly August 26, 2024. Ken was born in Etobicoke, Ontario on May 8, 1972, and grew in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Ken was well loved in the community and was the retired Assistant Chief of the Montville Fire Department as well as an EMT. In Canada, he was a prior member the Canadian Army Reserves for 3 years. Ken worked at athenahealth and became the “go to” person for answers and a great resource for everybody. If you knew Ken, you liked Ken.
Ken was very active in his community and organizations he found dear to his heart. Ken was raised to Master Mason on 12/20/2012 and was the current Worshipful Master of Liberty Lodge #111, Liberty Maine and Senior Warden at Mariners Lodge #68, Searsport Maine. He became a Shriner on June 19, 2021 and was the current Secretary of the Waldo County Shrine. He was also a member of the Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association and was lovingly assigned the road name “Num Numb”. Ken never hesitated to reach out with help to neighbors and friends, even if you didn’t know you needed it, he was there. Ken had a love of hunting and fishing and loved when he and Robin fished together.
Ken is survived by his loving wife, Robin, of 19 years. It was obvious the love they had for each other, they laughed, they smiled, they traveled and lived a fun and full life.
